[QUOTE="Jez, post: 478028, member: 2948"] Hey there hey there! Now i know lots of you guys have already seen this but i thought it could be cool if we could have a tally of who has signed up and how people are getting on. This explains what everything is about: http://stormtrooperrun.com/index.php/home/blog/45-a-new-idea-for-2018-the-last-stormtrooper-run-virtual-run-series There is a link within that link which takes you directly to the registration website here: https://www.myrace.run/race-category/series/stormtrooper/ Get yourself this incredible swag designed by the extremely talented Mark Daniels Not long after i announced the 2018 challenge Mark Daniels contacted me asking if i wanted a new logo to compliment #thelaststormtooperrun. Mark’s creations are always fantastic so i leapt at the chance. Just a few days later Mark produced this awesome design... [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_8698.JPG"]40316._xfImport[/ATTACH] Please note the nice subtle sweatband in Red White & Blue as a nod to the 100th Anniversary of the Royal Air Force, the reason why i opted to attempt 100 Kms. I showed off the nice new logo on Instagram and straight away people were suggesting i put it on a T-Shirt or turn it into a finishers medal for a Virtual Run! Oooh a virtual run, what a great idea :) For the final year of The Running Stormtrooper Project, lets get everyone involved!!! [b][color=#00FF40]So what is a Virtual Run/Race?[/color][/b] A virtual race is one that can be completed at any location or time, meaning you do not have to physically turn up to a race start line. You could complete your virtual race in your lunch break, before work, after dropping the kids off for school, on a treadmill at the gym or you could walk it at the weekend. It doesn’t matter where or when you do it! You simply provide evidence of the run by taking a photo of your running app such as ‘Map my Run’ or ‘Strava’, or a running watch etc. It’s that simple. Oh and it’s for all ages :) [b][color=#00FF80]The Last Stormtrooper Virtual Run: Something for Everyone[/color][/b] I have been working closely with a great company called 'My Race' who have really listened to my needs with regards to ensuring mass participation of all levels of runners both novice and established athlete. I wanted to have 4 different lengths of race however the cost of producing 4 different medal moulds would have been excessive so we have come up with a fantastic idea to ensure each race medal is easily identifiable! Mark has once again come up trumps and has designed 4 different medal ribbons, each one has a classic ‘Lightsaber’ colour. Individually they will look great, as a set of 4 they will look awesome!!! [color=#00FF80][b]The Races[/b][/color] 1 Mile - Red Ribbon - The Lightsaber of the Sith [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_9092.jpg"]40317._xfImport[/ATTACH] 5 Miles - Green Ribbon - The colour of Luke Skywalker’s Lightsaber in Return of the Jedi [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_9093.jpg"]40314._xfImport[/ATTACH] Marathon - Blue Lightsaber - The colour of the Lightsaber owned by Anakin Skywalker and passed on to Luke.

You could spread the 100 Km or run over 4 weeks if you like! The Marathon can be run in 2 goes if need be. Those with keen eyes may have noticed that the 5 mile run has only got Spread A Smile logos on the inside.
